Torsh’s mission is to drive significant gains in student success by improving instructional effectiveness. We do this by harnessing the power of video, actionable data and expert coaching to promote high quality growth opportunities for educators, accessible at anytime and from anywhere.

Torsh TALENT is your own private, secure, video sharing and collaboration platform that allows you to create a dynamic online Professional Learning Community for your educators. Torsh takes care of all of the difficulties inherent in uploading and managing large quantities of video in different classroom environments and across networks with varying levels of access and bandwidth constraints. Their goal is to free you up to focus on the important things like helping educators increase core competencies so that students can learn.
